Just last month, the banana fixed to the wall with duct tape was stolen from an exhibition at the Centre Pompidou-Metz in France. (The fruit was quickly replaced in the museum galleries.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"pt-dp-p font-text-light font-light text-lg leading-normal tracking-wide mb-base last:mb-0\" itemprop=\"text\">This year, Cattelan is showing at Basel Social Club, with five works presented by Three Star Books, the Paris-based publisher. Among them, BEWARE OF YOURSELF is only the second statement wall piece the artist has made. \u201cMy collaboration with Three Star Books spans more than 18 years,\u201d Cattelan tells The Art Newspaper. \u201cYou should never forget where you come from, and it is vital to honour your partners. Within the context of Basel Social Club, Three Star Books brings the exact kind of street credibility needed to shift the energy and make an impact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"pt-dp-p font-text-light font-light text-lg leading-normal tracking-wide mb-base last:mb-0\" itemprop=\"text\">\u2022 <a class=\"transition-colors duration-default shadow-externalLink hover:text-red-1\" href=\"https:\/\/baselsocialclub.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Basel Social Club<\/a>, Erdbeergraben 1, Basel, until 20 June<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Maurizio Cattelan\u2019s Comedian has rarely left the headlines since it was first shown at Art Basel Miami Beach&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":502157,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[214797,307,304,305,306,214803,308,93,61,60,30871],"class_list":["post-502156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-art-basel-2026","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-artsdesign","tag-basel-social-club","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-maurizio-cattelan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=502156"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/502156\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/502157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=502156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=502156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=502156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
